Topic: [MOD] Lvl|X

Hi folks,
I am glad to announce, that I am working on a bigger project than i did ever before:
It's a new Mod called: Lvl|X

Lvl means, that you can level up and get new powers. Those levels are saved in a personal account.
X is meant variable. This means there will be many different types of Lvl servers which all are connected through your account.

On all of those servers, you will be able to level up and of course have lots of fun.
Though, only on some servers your level will make you stronger.
__________________________________________________________________________

Gameplay affected by level:
Lvl|aCTF
Lvl|aDM
Lvl|aTDM
Lvl|aPvE

Gameplay not affected by level:
Lvl|CTF
Lvl|iCTF
Lvl|DM
Lvl|iDM
Lvl|TDM
Lvl|iTDM
Lvl|PvE
Lvl|RACE
__________________________________________________________________________

As you can see, you can level up and have fun in Instagib and Race aswell.


The PvE gametype:

The PvE gametype supports cooperative teamplay.
You will be together in a group of players of 2 to 10 (depends on server) and clear tasks / stages.
Those can be very different from each other.

You can play this gametype level dependant or not.
This means the tasks are made for players with certain levels. Of course you get more EXP while doing those PvE tasks.
__________________________________________________________________________

This mod on the one hand supports a fun leveling up system with the ability to share your achievements with other players or use them to get really powerful.

On the other hand, the KISS principle of TeeWorlds is still followed.
You can come join a non level dependant server and just play as much you want while not having disadvantages of people having played longer.
Though you can still show your level and stats public to impress others with your achievements.
__________________________________________________________________________

ToDo:

- Account system [DONE]

- Database management [DONE]

- Level up system [DONE]
- Spend Stats[DONE]
- Calculating Attack etc with stats [DONE]
- Choosing a specialization at certain level [DONE]

- Instagib [DONE]

- Affected Vanilla gametypes [DONE]

- RACE [IN PROGRESS]

- PvE [IN PROGRESS]

- Other popular gametypes

- ???

__________________________________________________________________________

However, i still need:

- A nice and trustable person to host the whole server cluster of all gametypes.
- Great mappers which can design Stages or maps for other Tasks


NOTE:
This mod is and will never be released, as this would result in there being too many databases for too less players.
There will be ONE server cluster which uses the same database. wink
__________________________________________________________________________

As always:
I am opened for suggestions, I actually cant wait hearing them.
So please give me some, I can't do a nice mod without hearing other's opinions. wink

As summer vacation is starting in 1 week, this mod should not take very long time to open servers with. tongue

Re: [MOD] Lvl|X

This seriously looks like something that can become something awesome. big_smile The idea of a level system sounds cool if done in a entertaining and fun way! And the login system is what should make this different from the save mods which are full of those annoying fakers. Maybe botters could be given warnings/bans also?

Actually, I might help out with mapping for this one. Sounds like a fun project, is there any irc channel or so used?

Botters will be banned without warnings.
Though we need active admins/referees to catch them, but i think with some people playing the mod, it won't be a problem.

Regarding the account system i forgot to mention one thing:
Your accountname isn't the name you use to play with, so you are free to change your name whenever you want.
The accountname and the password are just being used for authentification. smile

Re: [MOD] Lvl|X

If you tell us how the maps and stages should look like, I would be pleased to help you making some. Furthermore I have access to a root, maybe I can host some servers.

You are free in nearly all aspects to create those maps.
Try only to use official tilesets and give a theme to the map.
Also tell me for which kind of task you planned to do it, so i can alter it. wink
Though i will need to think about more details.

Re: [MOD] Lvl|X

Well i got some suggestions about upgrading.

For upgrading weapons u could make for example a first lvl up that can give the weapon many different functions - example:
Grenade launcher:
1. Grenade flying further /dealing more dmg etc (which are pretty usual upgrades)
2. Grenade planting a mine the falls to the ground and explodes after some time or if some 1 walks over it.
3. A grenade the explodes on impact but doesnt deal dmg but lays a smokescreen (good for CTF)

Then after u choose 1 u can upgrade that more ->
1.1 even more dmg (boring i know)
1.2 flying even further
1.3 bouncing 1 time on the ground and explodes both times

2.1 mine deals more dmg
2.2 more mines with 1 pickup
2.3 mine sinks into the ground so its harder to spott

3.1 bigger smokescreen
3.2 smoke lasts longer
3.3 more grenades with 1 pickup

If there are lets say 3 more options and then another 3 ( o.0) at that for each weapon and some options for killing spree and for rampage then it could work ^^

I dont expect u to take these upgrades it was just an idea how a system could work smile
And if u dont like it ill think of something new tongue

Aren't there already like 2-3 levelup like mods? with accounts

To make it short: nope, there isn't any.
The only mod which stores data is the Instagib Save mod and it isn't based on accounts either.

_____________________________

B2T:

We have a far progress here:
- Database management and Account system redone and completely finished
- Level up and EXP system is finished and ready to use aswell

Check the ToDo list of the first post for info what comes next. wink

Though i won't tell stuff about it, as it still isnt 100% sure.

Anyways, you will see it very soon. tongue

But i'll continue working on the mod as soon as i got time. ^^

Newcomers can play in "not by lvl affected" servers...

Re: [MOD] Lvl|X

Sorry, but I have a question  -  I must create account on each server, or there will be central accounts database?

Actually none are planned...
Instagib somehow is completely different if the basics will change...
A faster laser reload or aim correction would just be unfair. tongue

I am planning on doing that kinda.
Though currently only the exp multiplier gets higher when reaching a new spree. smile

faster laser reload is fair in case of killing spree. more sprees u have less reload time u have.
so it would be easier to reach rampage score to have new bonuses etc...

and may be level-up in instagib may decrease points needed for killing spree.. i mean normally it is 5 kills, but if u have certain level (for example lvl 10) this number can be decreased to 3 kills so reaching killing spree will be even easier...
